How to read the table

Names and team memberships come from Bandai Namco’s Japanese site, which has a page for each of the 34 teams. Positions and the captain badge come from Bandai Namco Europe’s English character bios and, for eight returning players, from Bandai Namco’s own Rise of New Champions posts; 79 of the 128 have a position, and the rest are listed by name and team only. English spellings follow the same rule: 87 are Bandai Namco’s own; the 41 rows carrying a Community spelling tag use the in-game English text as recorded by players, because no official English source has printed those names yet. A player who appears in two or three teams — Hyuga for Japan and Toho Academy, Hino for Uruguay, Narugahama and the Real Japan 7 — is one character selectable in each.

The teams page has the same data the other way round: each team, its captain, and how many of its players are named.

The captains

Bandai Namco’s bios name a captain for 21 of the 22 nations. The ones most likely to decide a match: Tsubasa Ozora (Japan), Karl Heinz Schneider (Germany), Juan Diaz (Argentina), Stefan Levin (Sweden), Brian Kluivoort (the Netherlands) and Ramon Victorino (Uruguay). Three nations are captained from goal — Ricardo Espadas (Mexico), Eko Jawato (Indonesia) and Zino Hernandez (Italy) — and four from defence: Alberto (Brazil), Singprasert Bunnaak (Thailand), Mark Owairan (Saudi Arabia) and Robson (England).

Players with a named signature move

Bandai Namco’s English bios attach a move to five players; the two Ultimate Pack cards add two more.

Player	Team	Move	Where it is named
Karl Heinz Schneider	Germany	Fire Shot	Official bio
Stefan Levin	Sweden	Levin Shot	Official bio
Zino Hernandez	Italy	Golden Right Hand	Official bio
Kojiro Hyuga	Japan	Surefire Shot	Official bio
Manfred Margus	Germany	Warhead Header	Official bio
Tsubasa Ozora	Japan	Neo Drive Shot	Ultimate Pack move card
Kojiro Hyuga	Japan	Neo Tiger Shot	Ultimate Pack move card

The two cards are early unlocks, not exclusives — the editions page has the wording. The beginner guide explains how Super Shots, Super Passes, Super Dribbles, Super Tackles and Super Blocks differ, and the unlock guide covers how moves are earned.

DLC, pre-order and original characters

None of the 128 is DLC. The Season Pass’s three Character Packs add two playable characters each, and Bandai Namco has named none of them; this page will list them as they are announced. The pre-order bonus unlocked the Brazil Youth team early, not a character, and every part of it is earnable by playing.

The sequel also has characters written for the game rather than taken from the manga. Bandai Namco’s announcement promised “original national teams and original characters”, and 4Gamer’s hands-on singled out China’s goalkeeper Yue as one of them.

Roster FAQ

Is Tsubasa’s custom teammate from the last game back?

No. The New Stars Route gives you a new custom player, created from scratch, who joins Japan Youth. The previous game’s custom hero is not in this roster.

Are the Tachibana twins in it?

Yes. Masao and Kazuo Tachibana are listed for Japan and for Akita Commercial.

Can I play as the Real Japan 7’s unique members?

Yes, as part of that team: Toshiya Okano, Koji Yoshikawa, Nobuyuki Yumikura, Yuji Sakaki and Michel Yamada appear for the Real Japan 7 only. How the team is unlocked is in the unlock guide.

Which players are goalkeepers?

Set the position filter to GK. Bandai Namco names Genzo Wakabayashi, Ken Wakashimazu, Yuzo Morisaki, Ricardo Espadas, Eko Jawato, Zino Hernandez, Nolan Stewart, Cheikh Azwan, Deuter Muller, Salinas and — as a keeper who also plays in defence — Keizinho.
